3. They have limitations...

There's a local scheme I tangled with for a while, but at the end of the day you'll eventually have to buy something in 'real' dollars, and waving around a fist-full of onmi-groats just won't impress.

More useful is a market place where you can barter, rather than sticking to greenbacks: a nominal price may be specified, but most transactions are of the "I'll trade you this leg of mutton for that used ironing board" type.
